SINGAPORE: A victim of the latest ATM fraud case said he lost S$2,000.
Speaking to Channel NewsAsia, Marcus Young said he called the bank when he received a message saying the sum had been withdrawn from an ATM in Boon Lay.
Mr Young lodged a police report upon discovering the fraud.
He said he has not been to Bugis for a while, where DBS ATMs were found to have been compromised in a card skimming scam in December.
Mr Young said: "Within 24 hours, they credited the S$2,000 to my account and somebody called me to say that the money has been put back into my account.
I'm just wondering... how did it happen, where (did it happen) and how somebody could just have my card to withdraw the money."
Mr Young added that he has since received a replacement bank card.
